dc.description.abstract | Aedes aegypti L. is mosquito belong to the order diptera that widely distributed in the tropics.
Female Aedes aegypti L. is the primary vector for the spread of dengue fever. Dengue fever has
increased from year to year. Efforts to eradicate the disease done by government mainly using
chemical insecticides which their residues can endanger non-target organisms. Eco-friendly
Aedes aegypti L. larvae's control is needed to suppress the populations. One that can be
achieve using natural larvacide from sugar apple (Annona squamosa L.). The aim of this
research was to find out the LC50 and toxicty effect of granule from sugar apple extract (Annona
squamosa L.) on Aedes aegypti L. larvae’s mortality. The concentration used in this research
were 1, 5, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 ppm, control 0 In the form of tween 80, positive control
abate and negative control aquades. The result shows that LC50 granule extract of apple sugar
(Annona squamosa L.) was 8.25 ppm. | en_US |
